Summary:

We do not breach the void, his mother said, when he was a boy and new to such things.

We do not breach the void, the Elders said, when he was an adolescent, weak though he thought himself strong.

We do not breach the void, his father said, when he had reached the flush of manhood, stout and brave and unafraid.

But Erik cares not for their words. He has spent a lifetime staring into the void, into the startlingly blue eyes of the boy on the other side.

We do not breach the void, the songs say, but Erik doesn't listen.

Summary: It's hard not to get swept away by Charles' enthusiasm. The idea of finding others like him--of belonging--is seductive, but it is the thought of spending his life at this man's side that decides it. Crane or man, Erik cannot help but fall into Charles' orbit.

Note: This is an alternate meeting story (AU-canon) with comic backgrounds (aka no Shaw) and some non-powered secondary characters. Story loosely based on the Japanese folktale, The Crane Wife, and the Decemberist's album under the same name.

Warning: Contains darker themes related to the Holocaust and Concentration Camp Survivor Syndrome with lingering PTSD. This story also includes era-appropriate homophobia. There are references to non-sexualized ornithophilia.

Thanks: Many thanks go to my two alpha readers, Afrocurl and Pookaseraph, as well as my beta, Agewa, for helping to shape this story into what it is. I couldn't have done it without any of them.

Summary: The White Queen and her Shadow King sit on their throne, safe behind the psionic shields of the Walled City. The armies of Genosha batter uselessly at the gates, a war locked in stalemate. Magneto, camped in the frozen mud, receives word the Citadel intends to send a telepath to the front lines. The same telepath he met two years ago, who sat across a carved wooden chess set and offered Magneto the first friendly smile in a lifetime. The same telepath who still haunts his dreams.

Warnings: This story contains darker themes including dystopian politics, genocide, mind-rape, captivity, psychological trauma, suggestions of non con (without actual acts), suicidal ideation, violence, torture and gore. It can be at times explicit.

This is an alternate universe, alternate history, comics-XMFC fusion with science fiction/fantasy elements.

Thanks: This story would suck were it not for Pookaseraph and Afrocurl, who worked tirelessly to help shape this into something fit for human consumption. I can’t thank them enough.
